The 2026 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross has been launched in India with several significant upgrades, both inside and out. The lifestyle pick-up has discontinued the 4x2 drivetrain and is now exclusively available with a 4x4 configuration. Prices for the D-Max V-Cross start at Rs 25.50 lakh, and go up to Rs 30.28 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). Here's what's new on the 2026 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross.

While the core silhouette remains unchanged, the 2026 D-Max V-Cross has gained a few notable updates that add to its rugged and aggressive appeal. These include a tougher-looking grille with a black lower element and a revised bumper with reduced plastic cladding.

Additionally, the faux skid plate has been removed from the design. For a more cleaner look, the side body cladding and black wheel arches have also been omitted. The 2026 V-Cross features a refreshed 18-inch alloy wheel design.

Inside, the older 9.0-inch unit has been replaced by a larger 10.3-inch touchscreen with wireless connectivity. Meanwhile, the dashboard and doors now feature contrast trim inserts, while the range-topping Z Prestige variant comes with a roof-mounted eight-speaker audio setup. In terms of safety, the Isuzu pickup benefits from a 360-degree camera system and TPMS.
For 2026, the V-Cross is only available with shift-on-the-fly 4WD as standard across the lineup, as the 4x2 option is no longer offered. Additionally, an auto-locking differential comes as standard across the range.
That said, the pickup continues to have the familiar 1.9-litre diesel that makes 161bhp and 360Nm, and is paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.
